    The number of app ideas I have been pitched in an Uber.

    When I was working in software I would tell them I worked for the government and couldn’t talk about it, to avoid saying I worked in software, to avoid being pitched app ideas.

    This is why I prefer robotaxis. No driver to bother you, which means that you don’t have to tip, either. Plus they tend to be cheaper than Uber/Lyft.

      Obligatory mention that walking, cycling and public transit is orders of magnitude cheaper and you don’t have to talk to anybody either.

      You’d save a bunch of money even if you still take the taxi half the time

        What I want is motorized roller skates, so I can just sort of whiz along while standing perfectly still.
